Stir-fry Shiitake mushrooms is a smart and easy way to prepare a delicious Chinese-style side dish.

Pork belly stew Shanghai style! I love so much this recipe since my last travel in China. The pork belly is cut into big dices, then braised into Chinese cooking wine and caramelized with sweet and sour sauce.
